President David Granger and other ministers pay keen attention as an Indigenous leader makes a presentation.
Affairs, Sydney Allicock; Minister of Social Cohesion, Amna Ally and Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan, yesterday met with 12 Toshaos and a number of Village Councillors from Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Region Seven to discuss problems affecting their livelihoods.
The Toshaos, led by Casey Hastings from Kako Village, Upper Mazaruni, said that problems in the mining sector, security, especially at the border, and education were among the most pressing matters the group raised with the President and his Ministers during the meeting at the Ministry of the Presidency.
“We have been raising these issues over and over in the past. Now we feel that it is time to present them to the President. He promised to investigate them further and to take action,” Hastings said.
